Abstract

Colorectal carcinoma during pregnancy is very rare. Prognosis is severe because of the advanced stage due to delay in diagnosis and the aggressiveness of this widespread metastatic disease. We present two cases of colorectal cancers, discovered during pregnancy, as well as the results of a literature review to apprehend this clinical situation, and we describe recommended medical and surgical management.
